This episode of the AMD Developer Inside Track video series brings the AMD Game Developer Conference demos to you.  Software Engineer Saif Ali walks through three examples of how OpenCL can be used to create realistic cloth, destruction, and fluid particle simulation using the updated Pixelux and Bullet Physics offerings.  Plus, our partners from Studio|GPU™ show us how to use tessellation to change the texture of a character in real time!

IE9 is now available as a preview, and features exciting innovations that tap into the processing power of GPUs.  Specifically, it takes advantage of the underlying hardware from a visual perspective using Direct2D to enable GPU accelerated graphics, as well as a code execution perspective with a new JIT compiler included.  Read Robin Maffeo's blog for more details on how your ATI graphics card could help improve your browsing experience.

The AMD Core Math Library (ACML) is a free set of thoroughly optimized and threaded math routines for HPC, scientific, engineering and related compute-intensive applications.  New features in version 4.4.0 include:
- OpenMP support for Open64 libraries
- Improved performance of ZGEMM, including within Level 3 BLAS and LAPACK routines that call ZGEMM
- Assembly language kernels re-tuned for AMD Family 10h processors, providing significant performance improvements.
